How to use the site

How do I use Design Procademy?

Design Procademy is your virtual design playground! We offer free tutorials for budding and advanced designers. We also offer a variety of template packs that feature blank/starter files in Photoshop & InDesign.

Is an account required?

No. You have the option to register for an account before you can purchase products, however, you may also checkout as a guest for quicker service.

Please note that guest checkouts can make it harder to offer support on a particular order since guest checkouts do not capture names and contact details.

Do I need special software to use the products?

Design Procademy teaches how to use Photoshop and InDesign. Our tutorials utilize the latest version of both, however, you do not always need the latest version to benefit.

Many of the techniques apply to any version of Photoshop and InDesign. Each tutorial specifies any special features or requirements so you may plan accordingly.

Older tutorials feature older versions of Photoshop & InDesign.
